Broken People

‘You’re starving.’
The girl didn’t move, only said, ‘Uh-duh.’
’I’m starving, too,’ Olive said. The girl looked over at her. ‘I am,’ Olive said. ‘Why do you think I eat every donut in sight?’
’You’re not starving,’ Nina said with disgust.
’Sure I am. We all are.’
— Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge
